On April 3, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker announced the launch of the Massachusetts COVID-19 Community Tracing Collaborative (CTC), a new initiative to accelerate the state’s efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and dramatically increase the state’s capacity for contact tracing through an innovative collaboration with Boston-based global health nonprofit Partners In Health (PIH). An interdisciplinary team of Mintz attorneys worked closely with PIH on a pro bono basis to bring this program to Massachusetts.
